For decades, physicists have been trying to describe the nature of the universe in terms of small, vibrating strings.

If the fundamental nature of the universe is string-like, wouldn’t it make sense for the deity who created it to be string-like as well?

It’s a matter of engineering, really. For a creator to create, they must touch the thing they are creating, and if  they are creating something that consists of very small strings, they would need appendages of comparable size and force to these strings.

Noodly appendages are necessary for creation, at least in this universe.

What really makes the Flying Spaghetti Monster stand out as the most accurate revelation of the creator of the universe to date, however, is that the form goes beyond the noodly appendages that comport so well with string theory: there is also meat.

The meatballs speak to human-scale concerns. The creator may manipulate the quantum world at the Planck scale, but beings like us, large enough to contain proteins but not too large to become a star, capture the creator’s attention; we are central.

The creator of the universe has a special place in their core for humans. Pirates, at the very least.
